Monica McGrath And Kent Kirkland, Divorced Parents, Live Separately In Uniquely Designed Home

We've all heard stories of divorced families who are forced to stay together until one parent can move out of the home. But a divorced couple who chose to move back into the same house together after living apart? Most unusual, but one Edmonton family is doing it.

McGrath proposed the custom-designed home to Kirkland after they had tried living in separate abodes following their split, which proved difficult for various reasons, including the organization required to shuttle the kids back and forth between homes each week, and the stress it caused both kids and parents alike. Kirkland, who happens to be a building contractor, was initially skeptical about whether the arrangement would pass city codes, according to an interview the couple did with CTV.
